Fall knitting plans: No sweaters this sweater weather season?

[@sptaylor9]

I am SO excited for the Portland dog sweater tutorial! My foster dog lost one of his legs in a car accident and I’m so excited to knit him a bespoke, one-legged sweater :) thanks so much for your generosity!

[@calicoradio_knits]

Oh my goodness, that will be so sweet!🥹 I hope the pattern works well for you - if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!☺️

[@aprilw5345]

You are so inspiring to me! Thank you for all the different pattern ideas. You definitely expose me to patterns I wouldn’t find on my own. I especially loved the idea of recreating the dress your grandmother made. I look forward to watching your progress on all these projects!

[@calicoradio_knits]

Thank you so much, April!! I’m so glad some of the patterns gave you some good inspiration 😉

[@grandmastatus]

I LOVE the idea of the Ginny dress. You are so lucky to have had a grandma teach you how to knit and help shape your life. ❤❤❤ I hope one of my future grandkids will feel that way about me.

It sounds like you are going to be very busy doing all of these projects. It is so nice to see little Mac 💕 💗 💓 sharing the video with you. I'm glad you found a lovely apartment for the 3 of you. I always think your videos are interesting.

[@calicoradio_knits]

Thank you, Gwen!! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch both on here and over on Mac’s channel. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!☺️💕

[@christineduffy3113]

You are going to be busy loved your idea of making an adult version of the dress your Grandmother knitted for you as a child Will look forward to the videos you post on this channel Can't wait for Mac to model his new Autumn jumper collection Thank-you did enjoy watching this even though I don't knit anymore was never that great a knitter to be honest but appreciate watching talented knitters like yourself 😊

[@calicoradio_knits]

Thanks so much, Christine! I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out ☺️ I feel similarly about seeing and embroidery videos - I enjoy watching them but haven’t done either of those crafts in some time. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your evening 🙂

I'm planning on knitting my first sweater & probably my first hat. I'll keep plugging away on my first knitted blanket too. I've only been knitting for about a year & still tend to drift towards my crochet projects, so it's been a slow process to learn to knit. Looking forward to making more progress!

[@calicoradio_knits]

Oh man, that is so exciting! I hope you have an excellent time working up your first sweater and hat🙂 It’s such a great time of year to tackle them!

[@craft-o-matic399]

Wonderful! I look forward to all your content, and seeing Mac is always a treat! Thank you so much! Lisa

[@calicoradio_knits]

Thank you so much, Lisa! I’m definitely looking forward to creating more stuff for Mac this season 😉

[@marketazachova5606]

The top of the Ginny dress reminded me a lot of the (free) Bretagne dress from Filcolana. (I know that October is almost over but maybe you haven't started yet)

[@calicoradio_knits]

Thank you so much for the recommendation! I haven’t started yet, and this pattern is absolutely perfect. 😁🫶

[@AnItalianKnitter]

I loved watching your fall plans: so refreshing! I have yet to make an actual "to be knit" list for myself but you inspired me so much!

[@calicoradio_knits]

I’m so happy to hear that!😉

[@devonmiller2406]

I absolutely can't wait to see the Ginny dress! So great to hear how she taught and inspired you! I love the info about the socks. I love history related stuff. I didn't know there was a textile museum in DC. I have to put that on my list of places in DC that I want to go to now. I'm also very excited to see your milage blanket! Great use of that data! I often think about doing a temperature blanket but I'm not that into the weather to look that up or record it every day. Maybe I can find something else to inspire me to do something similar! I'm currently working on a sleeved scarf, a hooded scarf, and a home decor decoration for my arch in between my living rooms that will look like wisteria. That's the fall plan so far. I'm sure I will find other things along the way!

[@calicoradio_knits]

Nice!! Oh man, the sleeved and hooded scarves sound perfect for the fall.☺️ The wisteria decoration idea also reminds me of some seasonal garlands from Boy Knits World: instagram.com/p/CXu__UTJSF5/?igsh=MTcyOWttM3gxN2NqYw== 🙂

[@coykoi5128]

i can't wait to see the ginny dress video :) what a lovely thing

Hi Taryn, you are certainly going to be very busy. Your planned knits look lovely. I have watched you knit both on this channel and of course, the most loveliest dachshund - I look forward to your videos. Although I did more knotting when my boys were very young, I am nowhere as experienced as you. I have never knitted on circular needles before, but have watched one of your tutorials. I promised myself I would find a simple top pattern to try. I do look forward to seeing your completed garments. Bye Taryn, Bye Mac. Take care! Heather. Hull, East Yorkshire.

[@calicoradio_knits]

Thank you so much, Heather! I really appreciate you taking the time to check these out, and I hope you have a wonderful time knitting up a top! There are a ton of great patterns on there, but in case you’re looking for suggestions, I would recommend checking out Ashley Lillis’s channel (youtube.com/@ashleylillisknits?si=E-er4Br02U-Frr31). Her patterns are classic, free and she has helpful video tutorials. I watched her when I first got into garment knitting 🙂 All the best!

[@HeatherJackson-cj8oc]

@@calicoradio_knits Hi Taryn, thank you so much for responding. I am honoured you have found the time to do that. I will definitely look at Ashley Lillis website. I have just briefly had a quick look via the link you sent, and I am very sure I will find something I could do and learn. Please keep the videos of Mac coming through, they are the highlight of my day. He is such a character!! Thank you kindly. Happy knitting! Heather 🌞

[@calicoradio_knits]

@@HeatherJackson-cj8oc I’m so happy to hear that, Heather!! I definitely shall and happy knitting to you too!☺️🫶

I found your reminiscences of your grandmother so moving, and I'm sure your grandmother would be thrilled to know about the dress you're making in her name. Your enthusiasm for knitting has had its own impact on me, so your grandmother has inadvertently had quite an influence on a lot of people! I'm not an accomplished knitter but do love it when I actually get to it. I'm from Melbourne, Australia, so it's spring projects I'm thinking about - most likely some cushion covers for my mother and a market bag for my sister. I'm also keen to try knitting the jovial collar for my nephew's girlfriend - they live in Japan, so it would be a great Christmas present! The Egyptian socks are wild! Can't wait to read more about the history. Great video, and love of course to Mac! :)

[@calicoradio_knits]

Oh that is so kind of you to say! Thank you 😌 And those sound like wonderful knitting plans! I hope you have an excellent time knitting them up and a wonderful spring☺️

[@posie861]

@@calicoradio_knits 🥰 Thanks so much for your spring wishes, and fingers crossed my spring knitting plans come to fruition lol

[@EllenHasch]

Thank you so much for sharing your projects and enthusiasm/passion for knitting!... Question: Do you have a recommendation for a book or video for a complete beginner to start knitting?

[@calicoradio_knits]

No problem at all! Thanks for checking them out ☺️ I would recommend the KZbin channel Very Pink Knits to learn how to knit. Her videos are short and sweet, and she always gets right to the point - here are two of her playlists I found that may be helpful as a complete beginner. The first is to make a scarf with no knitting experience needed, and the second are all her basic knitting tutorials in slow motion.🙂 kzbin.info/aero/PL65DE9178A8AB0292&si=nMIBNJ0Y2vUwshtl kzbin.info/aero/PLUv37jBrlCtLeB9KGy5ABNfsc03Fo3k4K&si=IFB7iCewdcFjOm7J
